Outdoor spaces are no longer an afterthought—they are an essential extension of our living and working environments. With this shift, Wayfair Professional has unveiled its 2025 Outdoor Design Trends, a carefully curated collection of styles set to define exterior spaces in the coming year.
Wayfair Professional has curated a collection of trends that blend creativity, functionality and emerging design movements to help design professionals transform outdoor areas into breathtaking retreats. In collaboration with Pinterest, Wayfair Professional also selected one of the platform’s biggest trends for 2025, Mix & Maximalist as a top Outdoor trend for this year.
According to Amanda Evans, Head of Brand Marketing and Promotions at Wayfair Professional, these trends reflect the evolving landscape of outdoor design.
“Our 2025 Outdoor Design Trends were inspired by some of the overarching styles we’ve seen emerge recently,” she said. “The line up covers so much ground—from Pinterest’s punchy and eccentric pick to our favorite sleek futuristic look—and we can’t wait to see how our customers bring them to life in their outdoor projects.”
